The Milwaukee Bucks performed well during the 2024-25 NBA season, finishing the regular season in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 48 wins and 34 losses. Unfortunately, their success was short-lived, as they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Indiana Pacers. Following this early exit, speculation arose about a potential trade involving their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo has dedicated an impressive twelve seasons to the Bucks; however, there are mounting speculations that his remarkable tenure may soon conclude. In this context, Charles Barkley has suggested a compelling scenario that intertwines Cooper Flagg with Giannis Antetokounmpo, particularly amid the heightened excitement surrounding the draft and ongoing trade discussions.
“If Cooper Flagg ends up in Dallas, does that make them contenders next year?…If I’m Milwaukee, first call I’m making is to Dallas. That’d be a great way to start the Milwaukee rebuild… Dame’s gonna be out, we get Cooper Flagg, maybe a good young player or some draft picks, now you can can really start your rebuild,” Barkley said.
